RAM breakthrough

Post by Zarathustra »

Fast, permanent memory. This is the Holy Grail for RAM, fast memory which retains its data when power is shut off. It could replace all memeory currently being used. Computers will boot up instantly because the OS won't have to load into RAM from the hard drive.

"This is the most significant memory introduction in this decade," said Will Strauss, an analyst with research firm Forward Concepts. "This is radically new technology. People have been dabbling in this for years, but nobody has been able to make it in volume."

Very interesting. I wonder how long it'll take to become widespread?

This is exciting stuff. Processor architecture seems to have come to a grinding halr recently, it's about time SOMETHING happened to improve performance.
